I have roughly 4 months before I need to start cutting for the show/MAB meet up in Ohio. Trying to piece together a routine to add as much mass as possible in this amount of time. I have add some since my last show, strength is up. Sean Sullivan is supposed to be helping me but at this time he is deployed and I'm not sure how much time he is going to have for me, so I just want to be prepared.
